I agree. Tank hates being outside and want to be with us all the time. They are inside housedog but, at the same time like lots exercise. They are people dogs and LOVE attention and love!
They shed ALOT and need to be brushed ALOT! So, if you are not wanting a dog you have to brush and groom, I would not suggest a newfie or any longhaired or double coated breed. They are wonderful, sweet, dogs and are very loyal.
It seems like newfies love everyone!
I would take your newfie puppy to obedience classes. Because they will push you around if you do not act like you are the boss or do not teach them anything.
